How Benchmarq works

Benchmarq helps you measure and improve how AI search engines, crawlers, and agents find, understand, and cite your website. This guide walks through the full workflow — from signing up to running scans, reading reports, and using advanced tracking features on paid plans.

Step-by-step guide

  1. Create your account

    Start by registering at app.benchmarq.io.

    You can sign up with Google, HubSpot, LinkedIn, or a traditional username and password.

    Once verified, you automatically land in your workspace and are ready to run your first audit.

  2. Start a new scan

    Open the new scan form and enter the domain you want to audit.

    Choose your scan type: the standard agentic app audit evaluates how AI agents read and interact with your site, while the agentic commerce module adds specialist checks for product discovery, structured commerce data, and checkout flows.

    Submit the form to queue your scan.

  3. Monitor the active scan

    While your scan runs, the active scan page shows real-time pipeline progress — from queue dispatch through site crawling, agent readiness checks, and report generation.

    In the background, Benchmarq executes over 200 tests across GEO, AIO, AEO, and CORE visibility pillars.

  4. View your report

    When the scan completes, open the report to see your overall visibility score and a breakdown by pillar.

    Each pillar — GEO, AIO, AEO, and CORE — is scored independently so you can see exactly where your site is strong and where it needs work.

    Drill into individual test results and download the full report.

  5. Use the dashboard

    The dashboard is your home base.

    The consumption overview panel shows how many scans you have used against your plan allowance.

    The tracked domains panel lists every domain you are monitoring, with quick access to recent reports and the option to start a new scan.

  6. Manage account settings

    In account settings you can review your consumption panel to see detailed usage history.

    The workspace section lets you manage team members, view your current plan, and upgrade to access more scans, tracked domains, and premium features through the plans and pricing page.

Paid tier features

The features below are available on paid tiers of Benchmarq. Upgrade your workspace from Account settings to unlock action items, competitor tracking, and trend analysis.

  1. Work through action items

    Action items turn audit findings into a prioritized to-do list.

    Each item links back to the relevant test result and includes guidance on what to fix and why it matters for AI visibility.

    Filter by pillar, severity, or status to focus your team's remediation efforts.

  2. Track competitors

    Add up to four competitor domains to benchmark your AI visibility against the market.

    The competitors screen shows side-by-side score comparisons, pillar-level differences, and trend indicators so you can see where rivals are outperforming you.

  3. Analyze trends

    The trends screen tracks how your scores change over time across scans.

    View overall and per-pillar trends, spot regressions after site changes, and measure the impact of your remediation work. Trends help you prove progress to stakeholders with data, not guesswork.
